Editorial Note.

An editor, having been sick for q
long time perceived that his latter end
was approaching. His spiritual adj
wiser comforted him by saying that he,
the editor, would soon enter into his
eternal rest, where there would be no
more worry and trouble.
"Are printers allowed in Heaven

Certainly, if they have been good" 4"
"Then," responded the editor feebly,

Boys, Flag the Train!"

The world takes little note of the
herOism exhibited in the duties of
everyday life, and yet it is displayed
almost daily in a measure that makes
the heroism of the tempest of battle
pale before it. The heroism of the
battle field is recorded in unfading
story; but the thousands of exhibitions
of the noblest individual heroism sell
dom cause more than passing tri-
butte.
The most notable exhibitions of
heroism are often given by the engi
neers OF trains in cases of serious ac-
cident. There are many instances
within the memory of all intelligent
citizens when locomotive engineers
have heroically brayed death to save
tine Ii, es of the passengers entrusted to
their skill and care; and it lie rare ex-
ception when the engineer does not
first consider the safety of others in
moments OF grave peril to his train,
leaving his own safety to chance.
Tr1e, it is his duty; but how many are
mindful of the full measure of duty
when death confronts them!
The last words of the engineer on
the New York Central train that was
thrown from the track by a landslide
few DAYS ago, were-"Boys, flag the
train!" His engine had plunged into
a river down a precipice of two hun
dred feet, and he was taken up in the
agonies of death. He had performed
his duty with heroism worthy Of the
Spartan band of Thermopylae, but his
last thought was for the safety of 9th.
ers, and knowing that the train wa.
due in a few minutes, he could only
utter-"Boys, flag the train,' wher
death ended his suffering.
The world is too prone to forget the
heroism often exhibited in everyday
life. 1t worships at the altar of th,
heroism of bloody battle fields, wher,
only the veries craven could b,
coward, but it gives scant and grudg
ing justice to the heroism that sccept
death in the liue of duty, and even il
the throes of death is mindful of tn
safety of others. There is a volum
of grandest heroism in the last word
of Engineer Kennar, who in the agon,
OF death gave his last oider for th
safety of his passengers-"Boys, fla
the train!"-Philadelphia Record.

Ways Of Savages.

a wife, among all races, was in early
times captive of war and from this
arose the custom of marriage by cap.
ture.
Australians, New Zealanders, Esqui-
maux, and other savage people are
totally ignorant of the universal custom
of salutirg with kiss.
The religious life and beliefs of
many savage races are hard to under
stand. These people seem to think
that all things that move are endowed
with life; and go believe that animals,
water, flowers, and other moving things
have spirits like men.
Maoris of New Zealand are probably
the most intelligent and we'll. hammered
of modern savages. They have given
up cannibalism, have adopted the
European dress, are submissive to law,
and, when engaged in war, use the
milder methods of Christian warriors.
Savage races are found to be origin
ally temperate, but as soon as they
come in contact with the civilized men
and learn the effects of strong drink
they use it to excess and rapidly become
drunkards. Some savage people have
been destroyed by this terrible vice.
The Malay, when in presence of one
whom he regards as above him, imme-
diately sits down; the South African
turn their backs upon their betters ;
some of the Hindoo tribes reveal their
respect by putting the thumb to the
end of the nose and wiggling the other
fingers.
One of the worst races is that of the
Australian natives, who seem incapable
of receiving any considerable degree
of civilization. They have been in
contact with the English settlers for a
century, and yet have not learned any.
thing from them but horseback riding
and taste for strong drink.
The worship of animals is found
widely existing over the whole world
and this worship might possibly be
traced to the common habit Of calling
families after animals-which easily
led to the belief that families were re.
lated to or descended from the animals
whose name they bore and ultimately
this grew into worship.
The lowest and most barbarous race
in the world is supposed to be tribe
called "Bosjesmans,' branch of the
Hottentots. 1t is said of them that in
stead of washing they cover theil
bodies all over with thick layers Of
dirty grease. 1t was of this race tha,

The Standard Verdict.

The stubbornly contested trial of the
Everests, father and son, for entering
into criminal conspiracy to ruin the
business and property of the Buffalo
Lubricating Oil Company has ended in
the conviction of the defendants. The
prominence which the case has acquir.
ed before the public is due very large
ly to the fact that the conspiracy was
projected by members of the Standard
Oil Company and in the interest oi
that corporation, some of whose chief
stockholders were indicted jointly with
the Everests, but were relieved of the
charge after the trial begun, there be-
ing no duplicating evidence against
them.
The verdict against the Everests is
really against the methods of the
Standard monopoly, whose deep con.
cern in the outcome was manifest
through the daily attendance of its
president, vice-president, treasurer and
other high officials at the trial-their
first voluntary appearance, we believe,
in court of justice during the hearing
of a criminal case. According to the
evidence the methods suggested by the
conspirators TO ruin their competitor
in business included incendiarism, the
corruption of the employees to betray
their employers, the hiring of work.
men so TO construct stills that they
would explode and destroy the works.
If we are to believe the evidence the
cool audacity with which the job was
undertaken has had few parallels in all
the long list of lawless enterprises il
which the Standard has figured. II
the verdict stands it will do gooC
deal to spread the idea that man who
has money, brains and enterprise may
engage in refining oil even in compe
tition with the Standard without run
ming the risk of having his property
burned over his head by hired incen
